Chapter 84
Episode 17 – SSS Grade Talent (4)
「 The greatest good person can turn into the worst killer at any time . 」
This was a sentence that described Guam Divine Doctor in Ways of Survival .
Guam Divine Doctor Heo Jun .
According to the records in Ways of Survival, the task that Heo Jun devoted his last years to wasn’t medicine but poison . Like many great people who later became constellations, Heo Jun reached a level beyond the actual history records .
「 “If I make a poison that can kill anyone, I can make a pill that can save anyone . ” 」
Heo Jun was banished after the death of King Seonjo and devoted his last seven years to this question .
Why was poison a medicine for some people and a poison for others? One day in his last years, he finally reached a mystical answer .
「 “It isn’t the body but the spirit that determines the action of the poison . “ 」
A poison made by analyzing a thousand souls . The result was the heavenly poison that flowed out of Lee Seolhwa’s body, the Thousand Spirits Poison .
Dongui Bogam was actually written from Heo Jun’s failure to reach Thousand Spirits Poison .
“Kiik, kiiik!”
I moved through the Thousand Spirits Poison and dealt a merciless blow to Lee Seolhwa .
Lee Seolhwa flew through the air . It wasn’t hard to defeat Lee Seolhwa if her poison was disabled .
It was the Thousand Spirits Poison that solidified her reputation as one of the Ten Evils . If I hadn’t got the Dongui Bogam, I would’ve become a sacrifice of her reputation…
This time her luck was bad .
[The constellation ‘Guam Divine Doctor’ is looking at you like he is sorry . ]
[The constellation ‘ Guam Divine Doctor’ is looking forward to you dealing with this properly . ]
[300 coins have been sponsored . ]
The ‘Parasite’ infection was irrelevant to Guam Divine Doctor’s intentions . In other words, Lee Seolhwa’s attack on me wasn’t according to Lee Seolhwa’s will .
By the way, only sponsoring 300 coins…
[The constellation ‘Seo Ae Il Pil’ you dealing with this properly . ]
[The constellation ‘Bald General of Justice’ expects you to do your best . ]
[300 coins have been sponsored . ]
I ignored the response of the constellations and approached Lee Seolhwa . Lee Seolhwa crawled across the ground with fear .
I could feel Yoo Jonghyuk’s gaze in the distance . Yoo Jonghyuk would probably be hurt badly if Lee Seolhwa died here .
I looked at the fallen Lee Seolhwa and opened my mouth . “Hey . ”
To be exact, I spoke to Parasite Antinus inside her .
“It would be good if you come out . ”
“Kik?”
“It isn’t too late now . Return to your duties as a guide . Teach people skills and get along with them . ”
“…”
“If you work hard, maybe you can become a constellation one day?”
The Parasite Queen, Antinus was a strong hero .
It wasn’t possible for her to exert all her strength because she was restricted by the probabilities . It wasn’t impossible for her to become a constellation if she continued to be a ‘guide’ and accumulated history .
“You humans… I hate…”
The problem was that she thought of humans as enemies . It was also a mortal enemy . I glanced at the disaster meteorite that was intermittently shaking .
“I am sorry that your world was destroyed . But is it necessary to destroy this world? Are you going to reproduce the same tragedy here?”
“…All of you will die . ”
I watched the smiling Antinus and sighed . If she didn’t go out on her own, I would have to force her out .
In fact, I didn’t want to use this method . It wasn’t just due to the pain Lee Seolhwa would go to . I didn’t want the burden of dealing with Antinus after she left the body .
I glanced up at the sky . The constellations of the Korean peninsula . I owed them a debt last time so this time I had to make a concession .
[The special option of Dongui Bogam – Incomplete has been activated . ]
[Dongui Bogam – Incomplete has conveyed the essence of Oriental medicine to you . ]
I had an incomplete version of Dongui Bogam so I couldn’t do miracles like making a powerful poison or saving a dying person . However, I could do simple treatments .
For example, taking a parasite out of a body .
Her body had to be bound for a smooth treatment, so I held Lee Seolhwa’s arms from behind, holding her to the ground . It was a misleading position but her consciousness was buried deep inside her .
Common sense told me not to go after Yoo Jonghyuk’s ex-girlfriend unless I was a madman . Especially in front of Yoo Jonghyuk’s eyes .
[The exclusive skill ‘Hit a Pressure Point Lv . 2’ is activated . ]
I started to press at different pressure points on Lee Seolhwa’s body .
Soon after, her skin turned red and I planted a needle made of magic power into her reacting blood . It was my first time doing this so I didn’t know if it would work .
“Kiiit! It hurts! It huuuuurts!”
Lee Seolhwa howled loudly . I ignored her and kept pressing the pressure points .
“Kiiit! Kihit! Kyaaaak…!”
Then Lee Seolhwa’s screams gradually changed . It changed from the cry of an insect to a human voice .
The mysterious thing was using Oriental medicine to remove a parasite from the body . I was embarrassed that a person who had relied on Western medicine so far was now practicing Eastern medicine .
[The essence of Oriental medicine is effective!]
[The constellation ‘Guam Divine Doctor’ is looking at you with a warm expression . ]
I got up while Lee Seolhwa gasped for breath .
Yellow mucus was flowing from the glands in her body where poison had been secreted . The mucus was the main body of a Parasite .
“K…Kuock…”
This would’ve satisfied the constellations .
[The constellation ‘ Guam Divine Doctor’ thanks you for your good deed . ]
[500 coins have been sponsored . ]
Lee Seolhwa’s eyes slowly opened . Consciousness had returned to her eyes but there was still no focus .
It was because she had been infected with a Parasite not long ago . She wouldn’t be able to see my face right now with her five senses half dead .
“You… who are you?”
I was well aware of the events that would happen if I answered this question . A similar thing happened when Yoo Jonghyuk saved Lee Seolhwa in other rounds . That’s why the important thing wasn’t my identity .
“I was sent by Yoo Jonghyuk . ”
–Kim Dokja . Don’t do anything unnecessary .
Yoo Jonghyuk’s angry voice pierced my ears . Lee Seolhwa’s expression changed .
“…Yoo Jonghyuk? Who is that?”
“You will soon find out . ”
Poisoner Lee Seolhwa had to become part of Yoo Jonghyuk’s group .
After the prophets appeared and the Absolute Throne broke, the flow of this world was slowly changing from what I knew .
It was difficult to make the mistakes of the original but it was also hard to see the future that I didn’t know .
That’s why it was necessary to balance the important events directly . Some things flowed the same while others flowed differently .
There were twists and turns but in any case, I thought that this ‘round’ was approaching the ideal approximation that I was thinking of . And the Poisoner… No, Immortal Doctor Lee Seolhwa could be one of the greatest set points of this approximation .
“Kim Dokja, this side is done!”
I turned around and saw Han Sooyoung and Yoo Sangah approaching this way . Amazing . The two of them swept up that many people?
It might be a situation where the Poisoner was missing but they were still the ‘Poisoner’s Group’…
The original plan became meaningless . The two of them might be comparable to Lee Jihye’s Ghost Fleet and Gong Pildu’s Armed Zone .
“Wait, don’t come over here . ”
I had to restrain their movements . It was difficult if they didn’t have immunity to being infected . This fight hadn’t ended yet .
Kiiiit… human…!
The mucus that escaped from Lee Seolhwa’s body gathered in a ball at one point in the air .
Parasite Queen Antinus . She was scary in parasitic mode but even scarier when she didn’t have a host .
The mucus moved like a small bug and formed a shape . It was a body made of nutrients that had been absorbed for many years . It was a body with beautiful curves and solid muscles .
She had dragonfly-like wings and a tail that resembled a scorpion . She was covered in an insect’s shell apart from the face, but she looked more like a bipedal creature than an insect .
The real battle started now .
“Get away before you are infected!”
The sharp tail aimed for my stomach .
[The effect of the Dongui Bogam – Incomplete has been activated . ]
[Your body is immune from a parasitic infection . ]
It was so fast I couldn’t avoid it despite having over 50 agility . I narrowly caught the tail before it pierced me . But if it hit, I would’ve definitely got a hole in my stomach .
Kik .
She used the fact that I was holding her tail to fly towards me and hit me . I was knocked onto the ground and a strong pain filled my body .
Strong . She became even stronger when she wasn’t in a host . The power of her main body was comparable to a 5th grade insect king species .
Once Antinus unleashed her fighting power, it was equivalent to the degraded fire dragon I once killed .
It might be destroyed but she was still the hero of her world . She was as strong as Lycaon who emerged from the yellow meteorite .
This didn’t mean I had no chance .
It was a clear violation of the scenario rules for the ‘guide’ to cause such an uproar before the fifth scenario ended . It wasn’t just killing a few people . She even tried to hatch a disaster, which meant she had given up on her probability .
The sign of a probability storm was already descending on Antinus’ body .
As time passed, the collapse of her body would accelerate, even if I didn’t attack . It was a fight I could win if I just bought time .
Kiiiiit!
The problem was how much time I could buy before dying . At this moment, the Protection Symbol of the Imyuntar started shaking .
Ah, that’s right . There was this . I held my aching body and said to her, “I’m sorry but I’m not your opponent . ”
As I spoke, a flash of silver light crossed the sky, causing a sonic boom . The gorgeous mane scattered in the air as something landed in front of me with a loud roar . The being was over three metres tall .
Lycaon, Prince of the Imyuntar, stood up .
“I’m sorry for the delay, Protector . ”
